Bra Fitting Secrets: Plus Size Bra Fitting

Why Plus Size Bra Cup Sizes Vary by Brand

Women with bra cup sizes larger than a D have an added layer of difficulty when purchasing bras.

Depending on the manufacturer, their cup size may be called different letters. They may go looking for their cup size, not find it, and therefore think the bra doesn’t come in their size. Well, it probably does.

Different Names for Bra Cup Sizes Larger Than D

There are three general naming conventions for cup sizes larger than D.

For example, let’s look at cup size triple D, depending on the brand, it can also be called an F cup or an E cup.

Why the Same Cup Letter Can Mean Different Sizes

If you’re an H in one brand, your H could be 3 cup sizes off in another brand.

So, now you get a taste why larger cup-sized women can get so frustrated trying to find the right size.
